|
In this paper, Koreans’ perception and attitude toward life and death is studied using the survey data of size 1000 obtained by telephone interview. The survey was carried out using stratified random sampling on the national scale. The survey results show that Koreans have considerably positive perceptions on life, and that Koreans think about death not so often and not so apprehensively. Koreans think the existence of soul, life after death, and god, not positively and not negatively. Depending on age, religion, education, and marital status, respondents have different perception and attitude toward life and death.
